Mrs b&d is from the Basque region and speaks both Basque and Spanish. Hearing her on the telephone is a hoot. Conversations with her mother (an English teacher at an American school) provides a combination of mostly Basque, Spanish and English. When I speak to her Grandmother (who was evacuated to France during the war), I speak French (which of course, my gf doesn't) and she speaks to her Grandmother in Spanish. I, of course, have been with Mrs b&d for four years and speak no Spanish whatsoever.
It makes for a very noisy but jovial mealtime!
